Every broadcast you hear now is from hundreds of years in the other world's past at a minimum and not all of them have adjusted well to their *own* discoveries that there are... people... out there.
Okay, that's more of a world with something we lack rather than lacking something we have. I still think it would make a cool SF story or even campaign.

That would be pretty interesting from a dramatic standpoint. These 'letters from aliens' broadcast would lead to some interesting events. We wouldn't have FTL, and maybe barely started to explore space, so we have no way of trying to get to the source of the broadcast, and our own replies will take centuries to reach any of the 'others'. Of course then things get mixed up when one of the alien broadcasters start sending out plans for a hyperdrive...
